Replying to: be325 (Sep 04, 2007 5:00 am) Let us know how it turns out!   BTW, kenhiggi was talking about European delivery. I'm assuming his car is on a ship on the way over. Replies to this message: kenhiggi (Sep 11, 2007 7:29 am) mbineu (Oct 18, 2007 11:02 am) kenhiggi (Oct 18, 2007 6:21 pm)
#9 of 97 Stuttgart-Sindelfingen by be325 Sep 09, 2007 (12:22 pm)
For those who experienced picking their cars in Germany. How far is the delivery center (pick up place) from the main train station in Stuttgart? Sindelfingen is south-west of Stuttgart??? Have no idea where the factory or delivery center are. I read that people get to Stuttgart and check into a hotel. Next day, they take a taxi to the delivery center, pick up the car and off they go! Since we are going to Zurich and have to pay to get there, we thought that getting a car at the same time could be a good idea (saving $2,300.00). We are taking a guided tour of Switzerland and are not interested in driving our car there. Anyone knows how far the "Drop off" place (in Stuttgart) is from the "Pick up" center? Thanks.

Ken, We are in the Tampa Bay area (FL). I didn't know about the Lufthansa deal. Is it something new? I know that some time ago BMW advertised one for two (a full-price fare)on Lufthansa. We know the approximate date of our tour but we are in the early stages of planning to buy C-300. I believe that an informed buyer makes fewer mistakes. I saved and printed info in your posting. The train from Zurich to Stuttgart, may actually pass near Sindelfingen or make a stop. Thanks again.

Replying to: be325 (Sep 09, 2007 12:22 pm) When you order your car from a dealer for EDP you receive a packet with two taxi tickets. You should plan to stay over night in Stuttgart and you head to the factory at about 0830. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the factory. If you want to visit the Merceedes Museum it is closed on Mondays. The deliver center really takes care of you but plan to spend 5 to 6 hours. This way you get to tour the factory. It is all very simple and you will enjoy all they have to offer you. Visit your local Mercedes dealer and ask for the book they have on the European Deliver plan. It will give you lots of information on the program. Kenny

Replying to: pat (Sep 04, 2007 8:22 am) It takes 8 weeks to hit the East Coast and 10 weeks for the West Coast. I hope to receive the car the third week in October. I'm not sure why it takes so long when they have ships leaving for the US all the time. This is the only down side of using the EDP. Other than that it is a great way to save a few dollars and have the fun of driving your car around Europe. I highly recommend doing what is called the Black Forest Rally set up by Mercedes Benz. You can add more days to the trip if you wish and their travel agency will help you out with all the arrangements. Your local dealer has a book on the EDP which outlines the plan.

Thanks Kenny. Your posts are first-class. Informative and do a great service to all of us who are ignorant about the process ...but thinking about taking that route. Where are all those M-B salespeople who brag about how many cars they sold/delivered through Euro-D and how often they travelled to Germany but seem ignorant about basic details.... when asked. Again, great post(s) and thanks for sharing. We all wait for you to tell us about the final stage of the Euro-D process ..... your first spin at home.

For those who ordered 2008 C300 Luxury. When you ordered your car, were you charged an additional $260 Luxury Sedan fee? I was told that this covers the change of the Sport Grille (apparently the Sport Grille is standard on all C models) to Luxury Grille. Thanks.
